+
+Netdata Cloud receives information about active alerts on individual nodes in your infrastructure and updates the
+interface based on those status changes.
+
+Netdata Cloud doesn't produce alerts itself but rather receives and aggregates alerts from each node in your
+infrastructure based on their configuration. Every node comes with hundreds of pre-configured alerts that have been
+tested by Netdata's community of DevOps engineers and SREs, but you may want to customize existing alerts or create new
+ones entirely.
+
+Read our doc on [health alerts](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/monitor/configure-alarms.md) to
+learn how to tweak existing alerts or create new
+health entities based on the specific needs of your infrastructure. By taking charge of alert configuration, you'll
+ensure Netdata Cloud always delivers the most relevant alerts about the well-being of your nodes.
+
+## View all active alerts
+
+The [Alerts Smartboard](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/smartboard.mdx)
+provides a high-level interface for viewing the number of critical or warning alerts and where they are in your
+infrastructure.
+
+![The Alerts Smartboard](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/119025635-2fcb1b80-b959-11eb-9fdb-7f1a082f43c5.png)
+
+Click on the **Alerts** tab in any War Room to open the Smartboard. Alternatively, click on any of the alert badges in
+the [Nodes view](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/visualize/nodes.md) to jump to the Alerts
+Smartboard.
+
+From here, filter active alerts using the **critical** or **warning** boxes, or hover over a box in
+the [nodes map](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/smartboard.mdx#nodes-map)
+to see a
+popup node-specific alert information.
+
+## View alerts in context with charts
+
+If you click on any of the alerts, either in a nodes map popup or the alerts table, Netdata Cloud navigates you to the
+single-node dashboard and scrolls to the relevant chart. Netdata Cloud also draws a highlight and the value at the
+moment your node triggered this alert.
+
+![An alert in context with charts and dimensions](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1153921/119039593-4a0cf580-b969-11eb-840c-4ecb123df9f5.png)
+
+You can
+then [select this area](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/dashboard/interact-charts.mdx#select)
+with `Alt/⌘ + mouse selection` to highlight the alerted timeframe while you explore other charts for root cause
+analysis.
+
+Or, select the area and
+run [Metric Correlations](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/insights/metric-correlations.md) to
+filter the single-node
+dashboard to only those charts most likely to be connected to the alert.
+
+## What's next?
+
+Learn more about the features of the Smartboard in
+its [reference](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/smartboard.mdx)
+doc. To stay notified of active alerts,
+enable [centralized alert notifications](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/notifications.mdx)
+from Netdata Cloud.
+
+If you're through with setting up alerts, it might be time
+to [invite your team](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/manage/invite-your-team.md).
+
+Check out our recommendations on organizing and
+using [Spaces](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/spaces.md) and
+[War Rooms](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/war-rooms.md) to streamline your processes once
+you find an alert in Netdata Cloud.
